Description

Ingredients

• 1 medium- large yam or sweet potato
• 1 8 ounce raw chicken breast or thigh ( or sub 1 can black beans, or 1 cup cooked chicken breast)
• ½ teaspoon oil
• Generous Pinch Salt and Pepper
• ----
• 4-6 tablespoons BBQ Sauce- Store bought or homemade
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• ¼ cup chopped scallions or red onion
• ¼- ½ cup shredded cheese ( mozzarella, jack, cheddar) optional
• salt and pepper

Directions

• Pre heat oven to 425F
• Cut yam in half lengthwise
• Place on parchment lined line sheet pan, open side down.
• If adding chicken, coat breast in a little oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place next to the sweet potato.
• When the oven is hot, bake yam and chicken for 30 minutes.
• Check that yam is fork tender and chicken is cooked through at thickest part. If not, continue cooking for a bit longer, removing whichever is done, so not to overcook.
• Turn yams over and leave on the sheet pan. Slice the chicken into small bite size pieces ( or if using black beans, drain and rinse the beans well, and season with salt and pepper)
• Using a fork, scruff up the yams, careful to leave the skin in tact and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Then mix in 1-2 tablespoons ( or more if you like) BBQ sauce with the yam. Divide the chicken ( or black beans) add a 1-2 more tablespoons BBQ Sauce. Top with half the cilantro and onions and then top with optional cheese.
• Return this to the oven and bake 10-15 more minutes ( or until heated through) and cheese is melty.
• Scatter with remaining onions and cilantro and top with avocado slices.
